This piece on the 'Kennedy legacy coming to an end' with the last Kennedy Congressman leaving Washington DC, ends as follows:
Norman J. Ornstein, a political scientist at the American Enterprise Institute, said that while Mr. Kennedy’s departure was minor in the scheme of things, that he and his father were being replaced as the only father-son team in Congress by Representative Ron Paul of Texas and Senator-elect Rand Paul of Kentucky, who hail from the libertarian Tea Party wing of the Republican Party, was indicative of “the kind of sea change we’re going through” on Capitol Hill.
“To go from the Kennedys to the Pauls,” Mr. Ornstein said, “I would say that’s a pretty big difference.”
